No, I got the "joke", I was just replying to the part that related to this thread . And I do think these prices are a little high, but they will sell loads ad it's a great OS.

Yeah I honestly dont think MANY people will pirate it, it looks pretty damn decent.

Since some idiot mod deleted it - again

I'll just give a quick summary.

Windows 7 prices have been announced.

It is very immature/rude to defame a moderator, especially since they're volunteering to help keep the forum clean.

Anyways, these expensive prices upset me (along with the usual crappy multiple version selection). Why can't Microsoft release upgrades for $29 dollars, like their Apple counterparts.

Oh well, the XP that comes along with it will make it worth it. Though it's kind of funny, Microsoft basically admitting that they can't make a modern operating system compatible with third-party applications, so they're including a 9 year old operating system for compatibility, an operating system the user should have probably been using anyways, because Vista sucks.

Jesus christ, that really is bad. Everyone will be counterfeitting them no doubt.

Oh wait, I get a Technet account in September so it wont matter *dances*

I use to work for the MSDN and TechNet Subscriptions team in LA.

And it probally won't be released right away on MSDNAA. It will most likly take a little longer for them to put in on MSDNAA.

Very high prices indeed. But, it may all be worth it as the Beta and the RC1 were excellent.

I don't like you, and I don't like the way you think Microsoft should "follow" Apple in everyway possible. This operating system offers more than Mac Os X and personally they have broken the mold for Windows.

People love(d) Windows XP because of one reason - it worked. Personally, I love it how Microsoft has added it in to help business like a transition to 7. Also, if you're having problems with Windows Vista did you ever think it's your fault? Maybe its YOUR fault for buying faulty hardware, you know that? Maybe the 3rd party who wrote the software did a terrible job - VISTA is not your escape goat. Frankly if you keep up to date, you shouldn't have a problem with it.

I've never had a problem with Windows Vista - ever. Just so you know, Microsoft has re-created Windows, and in my opinon Apples run out of ideas.

You idiot... you quite obviously have no understanding of why they are including XP mode with it....

XP mode is basically the most genius thing that MS have ever come up with, it is like the ultimate compatibility mode, don't just slam something before you understand it. Compatibility mode is basically what bloats up windows.... this is faaaarrr better

I can use the excuse of being a Windows or Mac user thanks. LOL. Mac ftw!11!1

I have to agree with Turbocom too.
